[vlc-devel] [PATCH] VLC for iOS integration patch: call VLC via well formed URL, omit download/stream question, specify switch-back URL to return to caller

[Ulrich Trampe]

VLC for iOS implements an URL scheme that confirms to the x-callback-url specification.

 vlc-x-callback://x-callback-url/stream?url=....&x-success=....

* The new URL scheme "vlc-x-callback" is registered by VLC to tell other apps that it understands x-callback-url compliant calls.
* The host "x-callback-url" is part of the x-callback-url specification.
* The path "stream" is telling VLC to stream something. Knowing that, it can omit the "download or stream" question introduced recently. 
* The parameter "url" gives the location of the video to stream. 
* The parameter "x-success" is part of the x-callback-url specification. It tells VLC what app-URL to call when the user presses "Done".

Both the "url" and the "x-success" parameter have to be encoded with percent escapes, to not mess up the well-formed URL scheme of the whole call.
